Just to recap, for the first time since the Rodney King riots 25 years ago the US military was used against US citizens. In the Rodney King case, the governor of CA and mayor of LA (elected officials representing the local constituency) requested the military's assistance in dealing with active violence they were unable to quell themselves.
In this case the military was used against a group of peaceful protesters, before curfew, in a public space utilizing their Constitutional right to peaceful assembly. The use of military force was also against the wishes of the mayor and the city council. Further, this use of military force was solely for the purpose of a photo op (not essential presidential business). This is 3rd world dictator stuff. This is the stuff the supposedly libertarian armed militias around the country have been warning us about. No other way to spin it.
It's also disrespectful to the church itself (whose clergy was also forcibly removed) and the bible (which was not prayed from, taken an oath from, etc., but was only used as a prop), but that's another topic.
